Fairmonts 2019 Food Day Canada Menu Released
Whistler, BC – In June, Fairmont Chateau Whistler executive sous chef Derek Bendig announced that his 2019 Food Day Canada (FDC) dinner will be comprised entirely of ingredients from the Whistler Farmer’s Market, located just steps from the hotel’s front doors.
